🧽 Step 1: Clean the Leaves
Dust is more than a cosmetic problem—it blocks light and slows photosynthesis.
Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe both sides of the leaves. For plants with lots of foliage, a light rinse in the shower works too.
Pro tip: Cleaning also helps prevent pests that thrive indoors, like spider mites and aphids.
🌿 Step 2: Feed the Micronutrients
Even when growth slows, your plants still need essential trace elements like iron, zinc, and manganese to maintain leaf color and overall metabolism.
That’s where the GrowScripts® Micronutrient Feed Pack comes in. Each packet is pre-measured and easy to mix—perfect for a light winter feeding that supports steady energy without pushing new growth.
Feed every 4–6 weeks to keep foliage vibrant and avoid that dull, yellowed look many houseplants get in low light.

💧 Step 3: Hydrate, Don’t Drench
Overwatering is the #1 indoor plant issue in winter. Instead of soaking the soil, focus on humidity.
Spray your plants (and the air around them) with GrowScripts® Hydration Boost+, a fine mist that helps leaves breathe, stay supple, and resist dryness from indoor heat.
Use it a few times a week for tropicals, citrus, or anything that struggles with crispy edges and curled leaves.
☀️ Step 4: Rotate for Light
Sunlight angles shift dramatically in winter. Rotate your pots every few weeks so all sides get exposure, and move plants closer to windows if possible.
If your space is extra dim, even a small LED grow light can make a big difference. Aim for 10–12 hours of light daily for citrus, herbs, and fruiting varieties.
🌱 Step 5: Watch for Slow Signs
Winter is more about maintenance than momentum.
Leaves may grow slower or smaller—that’s normal. Focus on steady hydration and micronutrient support rather than heavy feeding or pruning.
Your goal: keep plants healthy enough to rebound quickly once spring light returns.
💚 Final Thought
Think of winter as your plants’ “off-season.”
Clean the leaves. Feed lightly. Mist often.
With a simple reset now, your indoor garden will be ready to thrive when the seasons shift again.
